Cleaning aluminum?

Thanks all......

Charles I haven't seen Never-Dull wadding since I was in the Navy.  Good stuff for polishing airplanes.

Pman, I thought of Berrymans, might try a bit on the underside of the wing,

and Levent, I will probably have to coat with something.

I picked the worst spot under the wing to try some things.  Went against the net and tried alcohol which worked best and did not seem to harm the aluminum.  Then tried white vinegar a net suggestion which did nothing. Finally used the Cameo cleaner which helped.  Did not use the Mothers which raises a "black" resdue.  

None made me happy.

Thanks for posting this picture! I wondered if the TD-1 had dihedral, and it shows that it does.

Can you measure the distance from the countertop to the raised tip? Thanks.

Thanks, I have been wondering about that as well, prompted me to measure. Appears to be about 1 1/8" at the tip. Fully symmetrical wing, not cambered.





Thing of beauty. Leroy knew what he was doing, or employed people that did until the bean counters entered the picture. This model is so far ahead of the later plastic models that Cox produced. I will cover that in my other thread.
